Oh, I will. I just got it booting today - the AT to PS/2 cables came in the Amazon mail... and its awesome!!! Boots into 'Sniffer Network Analyzer' software and there other 'Remote2' software thats almost like a mini-bbs allowing remote DOS machines to dial into the system and run the sniffer software from home/remote. 

Since I can boot in I was able to see all the stock software and goto archive.org and find documentation for it all. :P Super awesome. I have some more hardware on order;

IDE to SATA card
CF to IDE adapter (CF HDD)
IDE USB card

.... its gonna be hard to NOT use the Dolch for another week before I get the IDE2SATA - I wanna clone the HDD first so I don't lose any of the stock software.

After that, I'm gonna use CF cards or a partitioned CF card to create a multi-boot system; the stock Sniffer setup, a Windows setup, a DOS retro gaming setup and a Linux setup... hoping I can create all of those on one CF card w/ GRUB to select the different OSes - but if I have to use 4 CF cards I'll install the CF 2 IDE in a slot so you can just insert each CF card on the side of the computer.

I have a lot more pictures now and since you asked will UL on Noverdu... :P
